ATOT, I need your help. I am getting older (almost 30), I have a job and now a wife. I love love love to game but it is just getting in the way now. I need a new computer to keep up, don't want to spend the $1200; plus honestly, it feels like I could do something better with my time. I thought about learning Spanish or getting my phd, but I have always wanted to own a business. I have experience with embedded and stand-alone apps, I just don't have any ideas! My wife would support me 100% (she has a small part time business already). I have some seed money, I just can't seem to get started. I thought about web pages or computer repair but those markets are so saturated. Local Craigslist adds showed people working those for minimum wage. Have any of you started a business? Does anyone do software on the side? How did you start?
